Tyre beading
TYRE BEADING MUST BE CARRIED OUT AFTER THE TYRE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY DEFLATED AND
OBSERVING ALL SAFETY RULES: BEADING PEDAL START-UP CAUSE SUDDEN, STRONG ARM CLAMPING,
THUS REPRESENTING POTENTIAL CRUSHING DANGER FOR ANYTHING WITHIN THE OPERATING AREA.
DURING TYRE BEADING DO NOT LEAN HANDS ON TYRE SIDES.
DURING TYRE BEADING SUDDEN NOISE LEVEL PEAKS CAN OCCUR: WEAR SAFETY EARCAPS.
1) Push the beading arm 1 outwards by means of lever 2 (Fig.B). Move the wheel towards the rubber support and
blade 3 towards tyre bead, at about 1cm from rim edge.
PLACE THE BLADE SO THAT IT CAN OPERATE ON TYRE SIDE AND NOT ON THE RIM.
2) Operate the bead breaker shoe by pressing the relative pedal 4 until the bead has detached. If the bead does
not detach the first time, repeat the operation, on different points of the wheel, until it has come completely away.
3) Reverse the position of the wheel and repeat the operation on the other side.
4) Lubricate the tyre carefully along the entire circumference of the bead on both sides. Failure to lubricate might
cause friction between the mounting tool and the tyre, and would cause damage to the tyre and/or the bead.
NEVER INSERT ANY PART OF YOUR BODY BETWEEN THE BEAD BREAKER TOOL AND THE
TYRE, OR BETWEEN THE TYRE AND THE WHEEL SUPPORT.
